    It's good to know that some authority's can handle situations such as these in a concerted effort to keep people and property safe. They really know how to handle what could have been a major crisis situations. Others could learn a lot from them... including the U.S.

    Yea... I really wonder about all of that. Bush came out and said told you so, That's why we were illeagally wire tapping everyone. Now people are saying it is OK, out of fear, to have your privacy mean nothing. Oh well, cheer for the "GOOD GUYS!" After all, they are the hand that feeds you.

    Huh? The above must have been posted in the wrong thread...

    Kudos to you, U.K. Nice to know you're smarter than the terrorists!

    According to Glenn Beck, a commentator on T.V. there's some kind of Holy Day on August 22, when Muhammed's body was moved(or something like that) Anyway Beck suggested if it could have been the target date?

    Well, thanks again for thwarting their plans Scotland Yard! :cool:

    It is indeed good to know that the authorities are not totally asleep.

    Good job Scotland Yard!

    I have lived through WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and many small outbreaks in my life and we knew we were in a war. People of today don't realize that we are at war with one of the worst enemies we have ever had. We all need to realize that we hae to do what ever it takes to win.

    WOW I'm glad you said it.
    I haven't lived through any war I'm only 27, my brother is fasinated by its history and reads so much about it, he is only 19.
    He is aware that as you sid.. This is war, This is leading to WW3 and the government and its people are unaware of it.

    2007 - 2012 the world is going to go through Hell.
    I don't know whether you believe in Nostradamus but he predicted this! Most of his predictions came thorugh.

    Why are we so blind.

    These terrorists, are beating us, the will take over, that's their plan. Its too late, they are already on OUR land, planning and committing these crimes...

    It's good but also bad. I fly out on holiday today and it means a lot of trouble at check in etc. Plus we can take NOTHING on the plane with us :(

    Anyway, back in a week :)

    Going away on holiday should be a relaxing, worry free thing, nowadays thanks to all these terrorists, it isn't! Which proves that they are winning.

    This needs to stop!

    I disagree wholeheartedly. They are not "winning".

    I wish to see it like you Rick, I really do!

    But I don't have a good feeling about this.
    Want they want, they are achieving, they want to scare us, and we are getting scared!

    I do agree that they are achieving some of their goals... but "winning" I would certainly not call it.

    It's a bunch of battles... and we just won a major one in stopping those dirtbags from the evil plan they had in mind.
  • Aug 11, 2006, 04:06 AM

    Actually now as you put it... yes it makes sense!

    Why has it come to this?
    Why do these dirtbags do it?

    As a traveller in the near future I would rather delays, and the GET to my destination. What's the alternative, let anyone onto the plane and get a quick diversion to "blown to bits" land. I think not.

    Keep vigilant everyone, where there's one "bad guy" there is probably a dozen more around the corner.

    Strange how many religions preach peace and everyone must die in the name of one God or another, beats me? Personally given the choice of how I want to die... "old age, very old"

    Like Lee,my mom,and dad are going to catch a plane this Saturday,but are quite calm about it.Security will be tight,but so will peace of mind.They can only take their boarding passes,passports,and wallets onto the plane.I will still be glad when they reach their destination though.

    Its sad and disturbing to see how we've ended up thou.
    Thanks to them dirt bags!

    Yes, isn't it a shame the way we are ending up due to this "war" that has been waged on us? After this one, we will see great changes in our freedom to move about. Now we need tighter security such as retna scanners and ID cards that can be tracked anywhere on the globe.
    You know, it is funny, but it seems as though the terrorist want exactly the same thing the globalist want! :p Ahh, but enough of that crazy, lunatic fringe talk!

    Well I hope they made it Nez - I didn't :( Got to the airport just as my flight was cancelled :( They were cancelling 1/3 off all the flights from the airport that day and I was unlucky enough to be one of them (and it was my birthday that day!). Still, never mind - got a full refund, I'm now off to Cornwall for a bit and I can always go again later in the year :)

    Hey LT I've just been in Devon the last week and the weather was good hope it keeps that way for you !

    I guess delays are needed for better security, also looks from reading the papers over the weekend and watching the news that drinks etc are going to be banned on European airline flights.

    I give my full support to the British MI5 & MI6 as well as Scotland Yard for putting a STOP to another 7/11 or 9/11.

    Agree 100%. Instead of the media harping on the fact that another plot was "in play" - they should be touting the fact that it was uncovered before it was put into play. Any means that the brits used to get the info is OK by me. In the US - if they want to tap my phone - to hear what movies Im going to, or what Im going to buy at Target, or what I'm going to do with my wife tonight - is fine with me.

    Well put and quite right, if you've done nothing wrong. There is nothing to fear, if Big Brother knows where or what you're doing tonight, why are "they" going to care. There's enough crazies out there to keep them busy anyway.

    Before all the doom sayers, moaning biddies, bleeding hearts, etc, the above statement is a personal thought. If it offends my apologies!

    Hmmmmm seems that everyone is jumping on the same ill conceived bandwagon and getting things wrong.

    Oh well, Read on and you'll understand more.

    Is this a case of over stating the case by our governments to further reduce our civil liberties and bank roll the laughable "war" on terrorism??
    I smell conspiracy either that or I should have stayed in the shower longer this morning.

    That was very good Curlyben! Nice to see someone operating in the reality zone for a change. You see, in America, people can name all of the 7 Dwarfs but they don't know the names of the chief justices that dictate the law in this country. So it is no surprise to me that they believe everything that the thiefs tell them. The real enemy has infiltrated their government and stolen everything and they say it is OK. For my "saftey" I will let them tear up the Constitution.
    This story is bunk. It has been fabricated to use fear to go into the next phase of the agenda. I know I sound like a fanatic but this time it is true! I wish it was not.
